## Abstract

A water control system for a tankless toilet includes a first flush control operating a first control valve, a second control valve, and a first water supply valve. The first control valve is moved by operation of the first flush control. The second control valve and the first water supply valve move by operation of the first control valve. When the first control valve is closed pressurized water is applied to the second control valve and the first water supply valve to maintain them closed. When the first control valve is open the water pressure applied to the second control valve and the first water supply valve is reduced causing them to open. When the first water supply valve is closed pressurized water is prevented from being delivered to a toilet bowl and when open pressurized water is delivered to a bottom jet of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The water control system as claimed in claim 2, wherein movement of the first control valve from its closed to its open configuration causes the first and second water supply valves to move from their closed to their open configurations permitting water from the pressurized source to be delivered to both the bottom jet and the rim input of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The water control system as claimed in claim 1, comprising a second flush control operating a third control valve having an open and a closed configuration, when in its open configuration the third control valve causing a second water supply valve to move from a closed to an open configuration to permit water from the pressurized source to be delivered to a rim input of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The water control system as claimed in claim 2, comprising a second flush control operating a third control valve having an open and a closed configuration, when in its open configuration the third control valve causing the second water supply valve to move from its closed to its open configuration to permit water from the pressurized source to be delivered to the rim input of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The water control system as claimed in claim 1 comprising a first diaphragm pump operatively associated with the first control valve and having a first and a second diaphragm position, when the first control valve is in its closed configuration the first diaphragm pump is in its first diaphragm position, when the first control valve moves from its closed to its open configuration the first diaphragm pump is moved to its second diaphragm position thereby transferring water from its first diaphragm position into its second diaphragm position, when the first control valve moves from its open to its closed configuration the first diaphragm pump moves from its second diaphragm position to its first diaphragm position thereby forcing cleaning solution from a cleaning solution tank to be delivered to a rim of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The water control system as claimed in claim 6 comprising a second diaphragm pump operatively associated with the second control valve and having a first and second diaphragm position, when the second control valve is in its closed configuration the second diaphragm pump is in its first diaphragm position, when the second control valve moves from its close to its open configuration the second diaphragm pump is moved from its first to its second diaphragm position thereby transferring water from its first diaphragm position into its second diaphragm position, when the second control valve moves from its open to its closed configuration the second diaphragm pump moves from its second diaphragm position to its first diaphragm position thereby forcing cleaning solution from the cleaning solution tank to be delivered to the rim of the toilet bowl.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The water control system as claimed in claim 4 wherein the first water supply valve, the second control valve, and the second water supply valve are housed together in a central housing.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)
